Greenland plants - for body and soul Kirsten Jespersen & Lissi Olsen 1st edition

In this book, you will find a selection of wild plants growing in Greenland that are suitable for food, drinks and good for your health. Previously, plants from the mountains were often used as a variation in diet, and as necessary vitamin and mineral supplements. Now fruits and vegetables are available in stores all year round; however, the wild herbs of Greenland often present higher concentrations of vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, they grow in cleaner air and without the use of fertilizers and pesticides – and they are free of charge. This book presents the most common plants. This is an unscientific writing meant to help those interested in using the resources of the land, and in becoming healthier in body and soul – both by hiking the mountains while gathering the plants and afterwards by using the plants.
